Application February 26, SeiialNo.A 579,782V l V 5 claims. (C1. `12o-9)- This invention relates to pencil holders and is particularly adapted for the holding of short pencils.

The `primary object of the invention is to proter line of the cap I. At the lower end of the cap I is an opening 8, which permits the point 9 of the pencil l0 to pass through.

I will now describe the operation of my new and improved pencil holder.
